The Google Pixel 9 series is expected to debut with Google's Tensor G4 SoC in October this year. The tech giant's alleged in-house mobile processor could bring notable performance improvements over its predecessor, the Tensor G3, which powers the existing Pixel 8 models. More recently, benchmarks of the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL with the Tensor G4 chipset have leaked online. The leak details the specifications of the chipset. It managed to get better scores despite having fewer cores than the Tensor G3 chipset.
Tensor G4 specs (expected)
Rozetked leaked the alleged Tensor G4 chipset configuration and benchmark test results of the upcoming Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL. The next-generation Tensor chipset is said to have an eight-core configuration with a single main Cortex-X4 clocked at 3.1GHz, three Cotrex-A720s clocked at 2.6GHz and four Cortex-A520s capped at '1.95 GHz. For context, the existing Google Tensor G3 chipset has a nine-core configuration with a main core capped at 2.91 GHz. However, despite the reduction in the number of cores, the performance of the new chipset seems to have improved.
According to the leak, the AnTuTu score for the Pixel 9 is 1,071,616. This number is slightly higher than the Tensor G3-powered Pixel 8's score of around 9,00,000. The Pixel 9 Pro has an AnTuTu score of 1,148,452, while the Pixel 9 Pro scored the highest at 1,176,410.
It is worth noting that this test could have been performed on the trial version of the software and Google could further optimize the performance before the official release. So these numbers should be taken with a grain of salt.
Google is expected to unveil the Pixel 9 series in October. The phone could run Android 15 and offer satellite connectivity.
